The 2018 Half Century a month Challenge chatzone

No ride yesterday with other stuff to do.

Then this morning set out with no plans for a half, much like @13 rider above, but once I got going it was so much fun that I just kept going and before I knew it I'd got a metric half in the bag.

Set out to do a metric ton this morning but didn't fancy it, finished up with a half metric. Think I'm just too tired from my holiday.

Will try and update my points eventually.....

June done and dusted today with another imperial https://www.relive.cc/view/1644219976

The early meet up at 6am with my main man Paul meant a nice and early finish at around 1pm.... that was nice

Cafe stop at 73 miles because of the early start... not so nice

Father’s Day tea at number 1 daughters so made the most of it. Loaded the bike rack on the car for Mrs Domus. Took the long route to include Cragg Vale.
Blooming windy climbing up Cragg Vale. 71 Kms in total. Nice tea and choccies. Relaxing now before 12 hours babysitting tomorrow.

Back to it with a Thursday night chain gang ride starting out and ending at Barton Marina taking in the local lanes of Staffs/Warwickshire and Derbyshire.

Not a massive fan of these but it was the first one in weeks and the last one I did went tits up!

42.4 miles in 2:16.

Full report in Your Ride Today...

Lovely morning for ride, went over Belmont with cracking views under a clear blue sky. Called in at MK Cycles who now boast a coffee shop. Very good coffee and cake. Best day ever over the top to Rivington, not quick but didn't drop into bottom gear and didn't stop for a breather. Must be getting fitter. Beans on toast in Horwich then again a good steady climb up the Old Road to the Blundell Arms. Again never in bottom and non stop.

Really enjoyed the whole ride. (mind you the weather does help)

 

[Domus]

Just looked up my total for last year, 33 points. 29 already this year. Better slow down or I'll give myself an impossible target for 2019

 

[the stupid one]

Cycled to Flint Castle in north Wales with the intention of doing 50 miles, but it all went so smoothly I thought I’d have a go at my first metric century. Ended up 4 km from home with 17 km still to ride. I’m a bit bored of the local roads I travelled around to make up the difference, I’m going to suffer terribly with cramp overnight, and I have no beer in the house.

But I did it. Yay.

EDIT: There’s going to be an interesting postscript to this over in the Training, Fitness & Health forum when I’ve written it.

A loop out to Otley then along the Wharfe Valley today with plenty of climbing for another point.
Bit chilly early on, but warmed up nicely.
Let down by Garmin failing to record a key segment but what can you do?
Report in "Your Ride..." and I'll update the other thread later.

Another imperial done on a cracking OCC group ride to Skeggy today. This was by far the fastest and easiest ton i`v ever done. Great day

Yikes - I've just realised that I haven't done my qualifying ride yet in June. I have done 3 long rides so far this month but I used those in the metric century challenge and don't count them here. I'll have to do some longer shorter rides, if you see what I mean!

 

[LeetleGreyCells]

For the first time ever, I’ve done two 50 km rides this month! Even more amazing is that they are only 4 days apart with a cheeky 8-mile family ride in between. Report in Your Ride Today and points noted.

Muscles are a bit sore though.

 

[NorthernDave]

Another point in the bag this morning - it would have been rude not to, with wall to wall sunshine and just a whisper of a breeze.
Absolutely perfect cycling weather.
That's another weekend of back to back HC rides too, so what's not to love?

I'll update the other thread later (and put yesterdays ride on there too!)

 

[Noodle Legs]

Another cracking CC Forum ride- this time from Market Bosworth up to Nice Pie Cafe and back again- and it was also nice to meet a new face and introduce my friend into the pack as well.

Just shy of 85 for me today, quite a few of the others ton’d up so big kudos to them.

Full ride report will be posted in Your Ride Today in a wee while, once Relive has done the video!

 

[13 rider]

Its that time again half a weekend to go . We have 32 fully posted up riders making it to halfway
That leaves 6 riders to post or get a ride in so a gentle nudge for @ColinJ ,@Bazzer ,@Ice2911 ,@kipster ,@slow scot and @fatjel . Well done everyone . Apparently it's all downhill from here
